Growth Chart

A growth chart is a visual tool used by healthcare professionals to track a child's physical development over time, typically focusing on height, weight, and head circumference. By comparing a child's measurements to standardized percentiles based on age and sex, it helps identify if the child's growth is on a healthy path, too slow, or too rapid. Growth charts provide valuable information to ensure proper development and can help detect potential health or nutritional issues early. They are a useful reference to monitor growth trends and guide appropriate medical or nutritional interventions when needed.
